Kim White of University College, has overseen a collection of 480 pairs of shoes and 365 pairs of pajamas for the San Mauricio Columbian Orphanage. This happened through the generous contributions of members of the URI community, including sororities, and newly senate-recognized “Make it Bright” URI Student Organization. Kim’s freshmen seminar class raised $1000.00 as their service learning project for “Adopt-a-Child” and $1000.00 was raised through contributions from family, friends, and UC staff. Our advising intern Jessica Peterson will be traveling to Columbia with Kim over winter break to deliver this wonderful news and spend time with the children. Kim, we are so proud of your efforts!
Brenda Celona of the Memorial Union hair salon along with many elves across campus (including our very own Karen Noblet) helped make the “Season's Greetings Card for Servicemen and Women” a huge success. A total of 868 cards were collected and will be sent to soldiers away from their families for the holidays. Thanks to Karen, who happily coordinated this card collection effort in University College. Karen, we appreciate your efforts and are proud to have contributed.
University College wishes you peace and safe travels over the holiday season and winter break.
